hey all i want to get into stunting just doing my bike test at the moment. so im looking for a new bike and i like the look and the price of the vfr400 and with hondas relability would have thought it would be ideal although cant find any crash bars for them just mean id have to make some up maybe? your thoughts apretiated oh p.s im from the wolverhampton area anyone from wolves?

 

hi
To small of an engine and no stunt stuff available. also if it has a single sider your limited to sprocket size.
Buy and old blade or 600 gsxr/zx etc or even a cd500 or gs500 to get you started.

Pez

 

Why is the engine to small? Tommy who rides with us stunts a CG125 and is doing really wellTalon will make you a sprocket for it

 

and the sprocket will hit the swingarm! crawl back under that rock noob!

 

what pez said and you will also have issues with fueling due to the v4 carb setup, if you want a 400 due to insurance try an nc29 baby blade

 

Why not get a CB500... Insurance will be cheaper than a 400 sports bike, and they are proven, just look at the french. They have bottom end power, unlike a revvvvvvy 400!

 

Hansky. That engine step up on a vfr400 is for speed /power and high lift cams etc make it a week /jutless at the botton end as they are made to rev 30lb at 10k. A cj 125 or and small cc 4 stroke only has a rev range of say7k rpm and a tourque peak at 2-3k which on a light small bike is ok for comuting or mat be stunting.
And a "wet" v engine will oil fill the back two

 

Toddy had the same trouble with his swingarm, Vandal just welded a new bit in, job done

 

Get my name rite its Hanksy!

 

There was a guy up the ace years ago at one of the streetfighter days stunting on a VFR400. Trouble is, Like my old bros, I found stoppies hard cos of the weight of the single sider. Do like joe says, get a CB500!!

 

Hansky!!!

Err v4 honda 400's have massive low down torque for their capacity they also have a baffled sump, double stacked oil control rings. i have had quite a few of these apart and they are a good engine. single side arm not much of a prob to modify, as for fueling it would be no worse than any other carbed bike. A stock 636 is ****** gutless untill its been geared up.
vee twins and fours by design make strong power at low rev's. don't give up the day job too soon oh and don't talk about power curves on a cg it has to be reved flat out to do everything but if you want a cheap simple bike to start with cb500 is prob the way to go.

 

yeah and my dad could beat up your dad ,

 

lmao

 

 

No he couldn't!!!!

 

Really? I know its a V4, but I was under the impression that all 400 sportsbikes were revvy little ******* that you have to scream the **** out of? Or is that just the inline 4s? Even a 600 sports needs a good ringing!

 

Yes true a lot of inline fours do req a lot of revving to make them go but they are geared to reach 130/140 mph and to keep the speed up the have to hold a lot of rev's, if you brought the gearing of an nc30 down to the ratio of a stock cb 500 and forsake 35 mph which do you think will have the most torque and drivability thru the rev range? In general as long as you can get a gearing ratio ur happy with to suit what u want to do you could stunt nearly anything well i couldn't but hansky solo could

 

Get a CB500
